September Happenings

 September was exciting and busy celebrating our Big Boy's 2nd Birthday and a fantastic trip to Oklahoma to meet Ella's birth-parents, but we have had lots of other things keeping us busy in September too!  Michael started "school!"  He is attending CDO (Children's Day Out) at our church on Thursday's from 9:30-1:30 and LOVES it!  This was a big step for Mommy due to Michael's life-threatening nut allergy...I will be posting about this later. 
 
His Classroom

 
 
Michael with one of his teachers, Ms. Bekah ~ we love her!


Michael on his 2nd day of school, because I forgot to take a picture on the first day! This was BLUE day at school.  I couldn't get him to look at me for the picture...he was focusing on the door to go inside, very serious!  I am so proud of him, no tears now that he is in the routine. He marches right in carrying his lunch box.


Michael had a big nasty bump on his head for about a month, poor baby.  After his bath one night, he ran (naked) as fast as he could to his room and tripped right before he got to the rocking chair.  His forehead hit the wooden base of the chair.  :(

 
Fun lunch date with the Bright twins.



Adventures at the Children's Museum with Max!  Michael loves Max.  He loves saying Max's name.  If he doesn't know some one's name, he calls them Max!
 


 
 
Michael likes to wear his giraffe backpack around the house.

 
Big excitement around our house.  Our neighbor across the street is a recently retired Houston Fire Fighter.  He had this vintage fire truck shipped to him and he is restoring it.  Fun times for Michael!


 
Michael had a blast (but probably not as much fun as Daddy) looking at the airplanes at the Oklahoma City Science Museum.

 
Michael has been mowing the lawn, a lot.  He loves to "mow."  He received not one, but two lawn mowers for his birthday.  One that he can put "gas" in & "turn on" and one that blows bubbles when pushed.  He goes to the back door every day and requests to mow.  I sure hope this trend continues when he is a teenager...with the real mower that is!



We had a long overdue play date with Micah!  Oh how we miss the Lindsey family.  They are super busy these days.  Michael's favorite thing about Micah's house are the pups of course!  He loves them!

 
 
We finally had a rainy day for Michael to wear his new rain gear.  He had so much fun playing in the rain and DID NOT want to come back inside.  Cute little froggy!
 
 
Of course the most exciting thing happening around here are all the preparations for Baby Ella Grace!!!!  We brought all of the baby items down out of the attic.  Michael thinks they are all for him!  Michael has transitioned to his big boy room and big boy bed like it was nothing.  I am so very proud of him!  Still putting the final touches on his room, but I will post pictures as soon as it is finished.  Likewise, I am a few projects shy of completing our baby girl's  room.  Here are sneak peeks:

 
 
 
 
Michael helping Daddy install his new bookshelves.  He is such a great helper and wants to do everything just like Daddy!
